Yes that did the trick, and that - of course - gave birth to a few more questions: 1) Can i do any linebreaks in this note() function? It's to make it look nicer on the Undo list. I've tried with \n and <br> but neither gives the expected result (<br> is converted to <br> and \n is of course just ignored by the browser). 2) As said before, I want to use this to let the manager know which attributes in the object, that has been altered. Currently I do it like this: -------------------------------------------------- class TVTeknik(SimpleItem): "Et TVTeknik objekt" meta_type = "TV Teknik" def __init__(self, id, serienummer = ""): self.id = id self.editTVTeknik(serienummer) def editTVTeknik(self, serienummer = "", model = "", fabrikat = "", REQUEST = None): "Metode til at opdatere data" l = [] try: if self.serienummer != serienummer: l.append("serienummer: '%s' => '%s'" % (self.serienummer, serienummer)) self.serienummer = serienummer except: self.serienummer = serienummer try: if self.model != model: l.append("model: '%s' => '%s'" % (self.model, model)) self.model = model except: self.model = model try: if self.fabrikat != fabrikat: l.append("fabrikat: '%s' => '%s'" % (self.fabrikat, fabrikat)) self.fabrikat = fabrikat except: self.fabrikat = fabrikat if len(l) > 0: s = " | Opdaterede felter: %s" % string.join(l, ", ") get_transaction().note(s) self.__changed__(1) -------------------------------------------------- BUT add only a few more attributes, and the code gets unnessarily long. Maybe it's because I haven't got enough Python experience. Isn't there a way of looping through the function arguments so all this could be made as a loop? Something like (mind you, this is NOT intended to be valid Python code - just a sort of pseudo): def editTVTeknik(self, serienummer = "", model = "", fabrikat = "", REQUEST = None): "Metode til at opdatere data" l = [] for a in function_arguments: try: if eval('self.' + a.name) != a.value: l.append("%s: '%s' => '%s'" % (a.name, eval('self.'+a.name, a.value))) eval('self.' + a.name) = a.value except: eval('self.' + a.name) = a.value if len(l) > 0: s = " | Opdaterede felter: %s" % string.join(l, ", ") get_transaction().note(s) self.__changed__(1) - Carsten

If this is for your own python filesystem product you could make a call in the filesystem python code like...

get_transaction().note('I just foobared my widget')

...and then that's what shows up for it on the undo list.

Is it possible to make the Undo tab's list of transactions more verbose?

Say that I change the value of one property of an object, and then at a later time change another property of the same object. In the object's Undo tab, there's only displayed, that I called the "editTheObject-something" method twice, not which properties that were changed.

Is it something that I tweak in my product's code?
